Of course it was an orchestrated gotcha moment. And it worked. Because


the presidents of those universities were spineless and mealy mouthed in their answers when they should have been unequivocal in denouncing such speech as having any place on their campus.

Alternatively, I could go along with RML's position that ALL speech should be allowed (provided it is not making direct threats or inciting violence) no matter how offensive. But the universities have not allowed all speech. Not even close. They have expelled students, withdrawn acceptance letters, disinvited speakers all for "offensive speech" which in most cases was far less "offensive" than calling for the extermination of Jews.
